Payment Interface page
Field or Control Description

EDI 820

Select if loading EDI data from the United States.

EDI CREEXT

Select if loading EDI data from a European country.

Upload from Excel

Select if loading payments from a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

Match Split Stream Data

Select to include split stream matching as part of the payment data load process.

Match Payments Already Loaded

Select to match remittance information with cash information that you already loaded into the payment application tables.

EDI Trace Number (electronic data interchange trace number)

Select if you receive both the cash and remittance by EDI. The transmissions have matching trace numbers. The trace numbers are unique, so the two pieces can be matched by using these criteria.

Payment Amount and Payment ID

Select if you require customers to include the payment ID (this could be the check number) and payment amount in the remittance advice. The cash and remittance are matched if they have the same payment amount and payment ID.

Date, Amount and Payment ID

Select if the customer includes the payment date on the remittance. European companies use Value Date as an additional matching field. (Estimated and actual value dates determine the float.) In the United States, use the accounting date of the payment. The cash and remittance are matched if they have the same date, amount, and payment ID.

Customer ID and Payment ID

Select if the cash has a magnetic ink character recognition ID (MICR ID) with it and the remittance has a customer ID. The cash and remittance are matched if they have the same payment ID and the cash MICR ID points to the remit from customer ID that is on the remittance.
